I could not agree more.

I'd prefer /var/www or /var/apache.
/usr and /usr/local should at least be possible to mount read-only.
Usually you don't want your apache stuff on a ro partition.
/home/httpd just seems wrong to me, but I cannot excactly say why. Somehow
I feel that everyone that owns files on my /home partition should be a
"real" user (i.e. Humanoid)... ;-)

Yes; I got used to root:www.

I don't like modified versions of standard tools. I'd rather have a script
that does the job for me, and has a different name (i.e. addusrgrp).
Just my 0.02€.
